Iwata responds to Yamauchi’s passing

Nintendo’s former longtime president Hiroshi Yamauchi died today at the age of 85. Satoru Iwata has since responded to the news with a short statement.

Iwata said:

“We will continue to treasure the values Yamauchi taught us — that what makes you unique lies at the core of entertainment. And we at Nintendo will continue to change the company flexibly to adapt to the times, as Yamauchi did, to carry on his spirit.”
